The Best Hot Spiced Cider recipe you’ll ever try

I would drink this every day if I could. A friend gave me the base recipe and I have tailored it over the years into my own version. This is the way I enjoy it but feel free to make modifications of your own!

Ingredients:

1 gallon unfiltered apple juice/cider (if it doesn’t specifically say “unfiltered, it’s fine so long as it’s pure juice and doesn’t have any kind of additives)

1 large orange, cut into thin slices

3 cinnamon sticks

2-3 star anise (I use 2 big ones or 3 smaller ones)

3/4 tablespoon whole cloves

1 tablespoon whole allspice

1 inch ginger root, sliced

1 whole nutmeg

Materials:

Large stove pot, or a crock pot

Optional: Cheesecloth (large enough to bundle the the orange slices and cinnamon sticks up in)

Optional: Spice ball or large tea ball (I use the one pictured below)

Directions:

Place the apple juice into the pot/crock pot. If you’re using a cheesecloth, you can bundle the orange slices and cinnamon sticks up into it (like a bindle bag or drawstring bag) so that they aren’t free-floating in the entire container. If you are not using a cheesecloth, free-floating them is fine! Either way, add all the slices/sticks to the juice.

Put everything else (spices, ginger, etc) into the spice ball or tea ball and then place it in the pot as well. If you don’t have something like a spice ball, you can free-float them too (it just makes it a little trickier to clean up when you’re done).

If you are using a stovetop: Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer and cover for 2-3 hours (the longer it simmers the more spiced it will get).

If you are using a crockpot: Put it on High Heat (or a similar setting) for 2-3 hours and then just let it stay warm (mine has a Keep Warm setting) for the duration that you plan to drink it.

Remove the fruit and spices when the mixture is done simmering and serve!

Pro tip: For serving, I recommend using a ladle that has a lip, like the one shown below. It makes spillage a lot less likely!

ENJOY!

Manta's Cider (Apples and Pears welcome!)

Today, late summer is when pears are beginning to be at their best for cider- and I think it's worth taking advantage of. And, I, am your local broke- artist that loves a good spiced drink. This is a non-alcoholic cider, that I tailor to my personal needs. The ingredients list includes a lot of spices you would traditionally add to a spiced drink, but I have some important reasonings for a couple that I include. 5 pears (with seeds and stems removed) 3 apples-I use what I have, so obviously taste will vary, this was made with granny smith, chances are, I'll post variants in the future as I experiment. (with core/stems removed) Today, late summer is when pears are beginning to be at their best for cider- and I think it's worth taking advantage of. And, I, am your local broke- artist that loves a good spiced drink. This is a non-alcoholic cider, that I tailor to my personal needs. The ingredients list includes a lot of spices you would traditionally add to a spiced drink, but I have some important reasonings for a couple that I include. Ingredients (This is a grimoire.-you're getting my commentary, but so you can sift through it easily, I've bolded the amounts for you.)

5 pears (with seeds and stems removed)

3 apples-I use what I have, so obviously taste will vary, this was made with granny smith, chances are, I'll post variants in the future as I experiment. (with core/stems removed)

Turmeric (1/4 tsp) - For joint health, and anti-inflammation, I include this in a lot of my cooking, because as an artist- my wrist starts to hurt if I work and neglect the need to upkeep my wrist's health. So for any of us working with our hands- keep this in mind.

Ginger Root, freshly grated (1 tsp)- another anti-inflammatory choice, but also for flavor. Add more if you're prone to needing your stomach soothed.

Cayenne *the smallest- SMALLEST pinch of this, I don't measure it, because like...it's a pinch. You shouldn't but barely taste it, you should at most feel the olfactory sensory input.

Cloves 1tbsp- I would recommend whole cloves, but if you're me and everything on hand is ground- fine. Ground it is! (I am not here to pretend to be an aesthetic blogger with my shit together. I'm a girlie that likes fall drinks and fun drawings, mmkay?)

Cinnamon 4 cinnamon sticks or 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Vanilla, 2 tsp (or one vanilla bean pod, split. In this house, we discovered buying vanilla beans from a coop is an option TODAY, so we used vanilla extract here. In the future, I'll update this drink with me using vanilla bean pods instead.

2 teaspoons all spice

1/4 tbsp star anise

1/4 cup maple syrup

1tbsp honey (yet another intentional anti-inflammatory ingredient)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp of lemon juice (another one in here for our tummy ache sufferers)

10 cups water

Place your fruit, sugar, and spices into a large pot, and add water. Put the mixture on medium high heat.

Bring mixture to a boil, uncovered, for 1 hour. (Keep an eye on it and stir it occassionally during this time! You don't want it to boil over!)

(After One Hour)After a bit, you'll want to mash using the back of a wooden spoon, or a potato masher to release the juices and flavors, the fruit will be exceptionally tender then and it will be easy- be careful not to overfill your pot in the earlier phase, otherwise you will be making a hot spiced splash zone.

Next, Reduce heat to low and allow it to simmer for 2 hours

Strain mixture using a mesh sieve, or a cheese cloth. I use a sieve. I need to invest in a cheese cloth.

Grocery Store Fire Cider

I try to always have fire cider on hand during the colder months. Fire cider is vinegar infused with warming, expectorant (mucus-clearing) herbs to help clear out gunk from our respiratory system. It's great for clearing up congestion and helping with wet coughs. Since pretty much everyone in my house tends towards wet cold symptoms (congestion/runny nose, coughing up mucus, etc.), we go through a lot of this stuff every cold and flu season.

I take a shot of fire cider as soon as I feel congestion or a wet cough coming on, or if I've been around someone I know is sick. While it doesn't always keep me from getting sick, I do think it helps speed up my recovery and keep my symptoms less severe.

A lot of fire cider recipes online and in herbalism books call for less common herbs that need to be purchased online or from a speciality herb shop. This year, I decided to make a batch with only herbs you can buy cheaply at most grocery stores. Here's the recipe for my fellow herbalists on a budget!

You will need:

A quart mason jar

1 whole head of fresh garlic, peeled and roughly chopped, OR 3 spoonfuls of pre-minced jarred garlic

3 knobs of fresh ginger about the size of your thumb, roughly chopped, OR 3 spoonfuls of store-bought ginger paste

1 package fresh thyme OR 2 tablespoons dried thyme

1 package fresh sage OR 2 tablespoons dried sage

1 quart apple cider vinegar

There are two methods I've used to make this cider. The traditional method is a slow infusion that takes 2+ weeks, but I've also developed a fast infusion method for when I feel a cold coming on and need a batch of fire cider ASAP.

Traditional Method:

Add your herbs to a clean mason jar. Pour the vinegar over the herbs and fill the jar to the top. Put a lid on the jar. (Vinegar will corrode metal lids, so either use a plastic lid or place a square of parchment paper between your jar and the metal lid.)

Place the jar in a cool, dark place and allow it to infuse for at least 2 weeks and up to 1 month. You can strain the herbs out to store at room temperature, or you can do what I do and store the whole thing in the fridge, herbs and all.

If you leave the herbs in, you can keep this batch of fire cider going all winter by topping the jar up with more vinegar every time it gets below halfway full.

Fast Infusion Method:

Add the herbs to the mason jar like you would for the traditional method. Instead of adding vinegar, fill the jar halfway with boiling water. Let sit for 2-3 hours.

Once the water has cooled down to room temperature, fill the jar the rest of the way with vinegar. Let it sit overnight and then either strain the herbs out or store the whole thing in the fridge.

To use the fire cider, take a shot glassful whenever you feel cold symptoms coming on. If you made your cider with the traditional method, you can dilute it with water if your stomach doesn't handle acid well. You can also mix in some honey to improve the taste.

Please note that fire cider and other folk remedies are not a replacement for medical care. I highly recommend staying up to date on your flu and COVID-19 vaccines in addition to using remedies like this.

ok! i think tumblr ate my fucking apple cider recipe post. still, my autumn equinox tradition must carry on!

Apollo's Foolproof From-Scratch Apple Cider That Was So Good It Allegedly Landed Me A Boyfriend

you will need:

12 apples (the variety is up to you, i usually do half granny smith and half whatever's on sale plus a red delicious for garnishing)

10oz raisins

cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom pods, any other warming spices u like (whole > ground) (follow ur heart on the amounts, it's like garlic just throw so much in there. just go wild)

1 orange

brown sugar (i don't have measurements but be prepared to use a LOT lmao, i always buy at least one 32oz bag. you'll be sweetening to taste.)

large pot with lid

potato masher (optional)

two large bowls/pots/receptacles to strain the cider into

fine mesh strainer

cheesecloth or coffee filters (optional)

apple corer or knife

citrus zester

slotted spoon or ladle

the steps:

1. scrub apples gently under hot water to remove grocery store wax coating. core apples making sure all seeds & stems are removed. add apples, raisins, and mulling spices to pot with enough water to fully cover ingredients, and bring to boil. reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

2. scrub orange to remove wax. zest and juice, avoiding the pith & seeds. use a potato masher or other utensil to lightly mash boiled apple mixture so every apple slice is at least partially broken up, then add the zest & juice to the pot. bring back to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for another hour. then turn off the heat and allow mixture to cool.

3. place two mesh strainers over two bowls or pots (and cover each with a cheesecloth or coffee filters, if you have them). with a slotted spoon or ladle, remove as much of the solids from the pot as you can and place them in one strainer (the larger one, if they are different sizes) to drain, then press out as much liquid into the cheesecloth as possible.

4. pour the cider from the simmer pot into the second cheesecloth and press. combine the liquid from both bowls.

5. add brown sugar to taste

cooking tips:

the times listed above are bare minimums. once all the ingredients are in the pot (minus sugar!) you can simmer as long as you want, so long as someone's nearby to supervise.

always add any sweeteners after the cooking process. otherwise, they'll burn and make the whole thing bitter.

if it's too acidic, add baking soda or more spices. if it's not acidic enough, add lemon juice, additional orange juice, or apple cider vinegar.

variations:

add 12oz fresh cranberries to the first step

sub oranges for lemons or apple cider vinegar

sub brown sugar for straight molasses, maple syrup, or alternative sweetener of your choice (I'd imagine fig or other fruit-based sweeteners would work best)

report back to me if you try something new!! i want to hear how it turned out!

serving suggestions:

add three or four cinnamon imperials (red hots) to your mug, along with a dash of fireball whiskey if you're so inclined. i cannot stress enough how fucking amazing this tastes.

garnish with apple slices, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and/or star anise

if you have dairy-free ice cream on hand, pour some cider over a scoop. you can use dairy ice cream, but it's more likely to curdle.

freeze some in an ice cube tray, then blend with some non-frozen cider for a slushie

ok I've never tried this, but i bet blending with pumpkin puree would slap. PLEASE tell me if you try it

this makes a metric fuckload of cider, which is very rich and can be watered down considerably (seriously). share with your friends and/or freeze some to last the season (or halve it, i guess, but that's no fun :P)
